DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

The coat carrying strap invention is made of 2 identical straps (FIG. 1), which has 2 clips (FIG. 2A) per strap and 4 total clips for the pair, permanently attached on each end of each strap (FIG. 1A).

The strap (FIG. 1A) is made of a non-stretch fabric, webbing or twill material.

The clip (FIG. 2A) on each end of the strap (FIG. 1A) allows for attachment to a garment in 2 places on the garment to carry the coat hands free on the person's back when not wearing the garment.

The clip (FIG. 2A) has a flap (FIG. 2C) that allows an open/close feature (FIG. 2B) with teeth inside of the clip (FIG. 2D) to allow for a strong gripping hold to the garment.

The clips (FIG. 2A) are made of steel and contain teeth inside which allow for a heavy duty hold and strong grip to a garment of any weight. Each clip (FIG. 2A) is attached onto each end of each strap (FIG. 1A), so 2 clips per strap.

There is a slider (FIG. 3) that allows for strap adjusting to lengthen or shorten the strap. One slide is used per strap. This is an optional feature.

The slider is rectangular in shape, with 2 open slots (FIG. 3A) in which the strap goes up through one slot (FIG. 3A) in the slider and then threaded down the other slot (FIG. 3A) for attaching the strap (FIG. 1A) to the slider (FIG. 3). 

1: Two identical and separate straps each consisting of a clip attached on each end of each strap with the sole intention and purpose of allowing the straps to carry your coat on your back like a backpack, without wearing it. 2: The said strap in claim 1 is made of a non-stretch fabric or twill or webbing material. 3: The said clip in claim 1 is made of a steel material consisting of a rectangular shape with a flap feature to pull upward in order to open up the clip that contains teeth inside of the clip, and then a downward push to close the said clip allowing it to attach to the garment. 4: The said clip in claim 3 contains a loop feature in order to attach the said strap in claim 1 to the clip.
